4/8 BY RYAN SHUCARD WASHINGTON, D.C. (April 8, 2025) – Cygnal, one of the nation’s fastest growing and most accurate private polling firms, released the following National Voter Trends (NVT) poll (conducted April 1-3) of 1,500 likely general election voters. “Democrats are making a lot of noise right now, but our latest national data shows they continue to be on the wrong side of issues where voters prefer the approach by Trump and Republicans,” said Pollster and Cygnal President, Brent Buchanan. “When you have nearly a quarter of Democrats refusing to say people who are here illegally as not having broken any U.S. law, or the 52 percent who support federal judges having power to overturn executive actions and laws, it shouldn’t be any wonder congressional Democrats continue to be 19 percent under water with Independents or why 42 percent of swing voters and 51 percent of parents prefer a Republican candidate in the upcoming midterms.” “While voters have mixed views on tariffs as a singular concept, Trump’s image is holding steady and support among his base, especially on tariffs, remains strong,” said Buchanan. “Even among Republicans who are unsure about tariffs, they’re willing to trust Trump’s lead. But as tariffs are top of mind, beliefs about waste, fraud, and inefficiencies in government align with much of what DOGE has exposed. Yet 49 percent of Democrats say there is no impact on critical programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as a result of fraud or waste. What voters see are Democrats in denial and Republicans taking action.”
